Amy Cuddy Ordre des livres (chronologique)

Amy Cuddy shows how your body language influences others and even changes the way you see yourself. Social scientists have shown that we make sweeping inferences and judgements based on body language, judgements that can predict meaningful life outcomes like who we hire, who we promote, who we ask out on a date, who we invest in and who we trust. In PRESENCE, Amy Cuddy reveals that we have the power not only to affect how others see us but also to change how we see ourselves and even the ability to alter our own chemistry, simply by changing body positions. Cuddy's research shows how faking body postures that convey competence and power (power posing) even for as little as two minutes changes our cortisone and testosterone levels, increases our appetite for risk, helps us perform better in job interviews and configures our brains to cope in stressful situations. If you act powerfully, you will begin to think powerfully.

Kolik příležitostí člověku unikne jen proto, že ho nenapadla ta správná replika v pravý čas, ale až ve výtahu po nevydařeném pracovním pohovoru, v tramvaji po zpackaném rande nebo na schodech po neúspěšné zkoušce. Evidentně je to častá zkušenost, a snad právě proto se kniha Tady a teď stala bestsellerem. Sociální psycholožka Amy Cuddyová přichází s receptem, jak aktivovat sebedůvěru za každých okolností. Podle ní k duchapřítomnosti nepotřebujeme podstoupit kdovíjakou spirituální proměnu – stačí soustředit se na daný okamžik, přizpůsobovat mysl, chování a řeč těla situacím, které život přináší, a nelámat si hlavu s tím, jaký dojem děláme na ostatní. Cestu k sebedůvěře nalezneme dokonce tak, že ji zprvu jen předstíráme. Reakce čtenářů i příběhy, jimiž autorka svůj živý výklad doprovází, dokládají, že její metoda funguje.

Have you ever faced a nerve-racking challenge and wished for a do-over? Moments that demand authenticity can often leave us feeling phony and powerless. We frequently approach significant hurdles with dread, act with anxiety, and depart with regret. By tapping into our personal power, we can achieve "presence," where we shift our focus from how we are perceived by others to how we perceive ourselves. This revolutionary work by a Harvard professor reveals that we don’t need a grand spiritual journey or a complete transformation to harness presence. Instead, we can make small adjustments in our body language, behavior, and mindset in our daily lives. The author has inspired millions with her TED talk on "power poses" and now delves into the science behind these techniques and others. She offers simple strategies to help us overcome fear in high-pressure situations, perform at our best, and empower others. Richly researched and engaging, this book shares stories of individuals who learned to thrive in stressful moments that once intimidated them. Readers will discover how to face their biggest challenges with confidence and leave them feeling satisfied rather than regretful.
